Posted on April 21, 2025

Congratulations to our CTE Forestry Program for placing 6th at STATE!!

The CTE Forestry Program at Taft is less than 5 years old, but it’s already making a big impact! Special thanks to the district for supporting this growing program and for helping us establish the Taft Forestry area.

A huge shoutout to Jake Tolan, our dedicated CTE Forestry teacher, for his hard work and leadership. At Taft, we offer several Forestry classes along with a Small Engines course, giving students hands-on experience and valuable skills.

Our Forestry students also play a key role in maintaining our campus, helping clean up brush, bushes, and trees to keep Taft looking its best.

  • Graysen Weiss: State Champion in Power buck (chainsaw) and 2nd place in Compass and Pacing
  • Sully Smith: State Champion in Choker Setting
  • Marcos Bickford: 2nd Place Choker Setting
  • Luke Mullins: 5th Place Choker Setting
